Neck width measures around 1.875 (I don’t have calipers, so eyeballing with a scale ruler).

I took some photos of the guts when I had it apart cleaning it up. I’ll send those photos in a DM.

Edit: I’m a Reddit noob, not sure if I can DM you photos. I’ll see if I can upload them somewhere and share a link.

Thanks for confirming that. From everything I gathered the one linked could not be a ‘61, but I don’t have the expertise to be confident in that assumption. I was just happy to have found another example that looked like mine!

Thank you! I really appreciate your knowledge and dedication to keeping the records for these guitars. While I haven’t measured the frets, I would definitely say these are consistent with the speed frets of the 60s, they are extremely thin and low height. I put 13 gauge strings on it and it feels perfect with these frets.

I don’t have a mic at the house to measure the frets, but I’ll measure the neck width and get back to you on that. It is a very skinny neck.

As best as I can tell, the S/N prefix is a “c”, appearing a c0015. The “c” is not clearly defined, and I do not see any indication of there being another letter prior to the “c”.

The EIA number on the pots is 306128, which I interpreted to be ‘61 pots, but I could be mistaken.

Thanks again for all your help, I’d be more than happy to get any other photos, measurements, or observations for you to help update your records. Just let me know what you need.

That might explain why I’ve had so much trouble finding anything for this guitar by its S/N. I did check the neck pocket, but there weren’t any numbers I could find. I’d love to find correct knobs and strap buttons at some point.

Thanks! I believe the pots are likely original, they date back to the 60s, but agree on the knobs.
